..and the ‘gay pride movement’ doesn’t have rights to show their ways in OUR faces....
Five Supreme Court Justices have no right to impose their view of “marriage” on others.
The courts have no constitutional authority to overturn thousands of years of natural law!!
What law did she violate? Is a question that no one wants to answer.
How can a ruling by the SC become the law of the land?
The author is wrong. The Governor and AG of KY violated the state Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and the federal RFRA, placing Davis in the position of either violating her conscience or refusing to issue marriage licenses.
If the state is violating its laws, then the person who stands up for their rights is well within the bounds of the law.
The author tacitly supports a religious test for the office of KY County Clerk.
(But the author is correct in that there is NO excuse for hounding private businesses at all!!)
Kim Davis upheld the law of Kentucky, which she was elected and likely sworn to defend. How hard is that to understand? Unless the Ky. legislature changes it, the law is still in effect.
Men and sheep should be able to receive marriage licenses. /sarc
Davis ought to base her case on her duty to uphold the laws enacted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
....another hit piece against Kim Davis on Townhall.com?
I thought it was a conservative site.
Contempt of court.
Whether or not she was morally right or wrong in refusing to issue marriage licenses, once she received a court order to desist, she (or the county) should have secured legal representation to fight the contempt charge.
By continuing to show up for work and refusing to do her job, she stuck her thumb in the eye of the court, and as a result of the contempt charge, got her ass stuck in jail.
“In any case, as a representative of her state’s government, Davis is obligated to comply with the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s equal protection guarantee.”
SHE DID!
USSC can only void laws not make them up or change them. KY’s marriage laws were voided, so there is a void, i.e. no law. Kim Davis did not issue marriage licenses because marriage has no definition in KY or any state that hasn’t passed sodomite marriage.
Furthermore, USSC and federal gov. has no jurisdiction here because their powers are enumerated and jurisdiction over marriage is not an enumerated power.
Federal government is an evil entity, delenda est!
RE: I thought it was a conservative site.
If you peruse the Townhall site, they have columnists on BOTH sides of the issue,
The pieces supporting Kim Davis are already posted at FR.
Shove it, Jacob. Equating racism with abiding by the tenants of Holy Matrimony won't fly. God's Law supercedes the Law of the Land.
The law is not only an ass but a very selective ass.
That’s how I see it.
That’s my questions exactly. If that’s the case we can do away with Congress and let SC tell us how to live. I thought the SC ruling would be a mandate to Kentucky legislature to overturn their law but she would be within her rights until that time.
Marriage is government licensed sodomy.
The institution has been corrupted by America, The Corrupt.
It no longer has any value.
Another libertardian queer friendly idiot heard from.
I can see why he writes for Reason. But why would Townhall print this BS?
